In this work, near-complete conversion of lignocellulosic biomass and high products yields were achieved through catalytic transfer hydrogenolysis (CTH) in isopropanol using a heteropoly acid SiW synergistic with Pd/C catalyst at a relatively mild condition. The performances of various heteropoly acids and catalytic conditions were extensively examined. The results confirmed that SiW exhibited the highest activity on disrupting C-C linkages and C-O linkages than HWO, PW, and PMo. 34.91 wt% and 43.55 wt% monophenols were achieved for hydrogenolysis of bagasse and eucalyptus, respectively, at their optimal temperature for 5 h. Characterization studies on the lignin oil revealed that the notable structural changes were observed including the breaking of the side chain alkyl-aryl ether bonds and glycosidic bonds, while methoxyl groups were retained. Additionally, particle size of feedstock also has significant impact on the distribution and yields of the monophenols.
